Hi, is anyone else having trouble accessing
http://photoframe.sourceforge.net? I actually was looking for some
software like this and I even tried going to the writer's website,
dougiamas.com, but he doesn't mirror his own stuff, he just links to
sourceforge. I tried searching on the sourceforge site for 'photoframe'
and came up with nothing.

Any ideas?

Jax :)
